Even a small friendly dog can kill you!
The little f'er came up to me as I was cruising at walking pace, wagging it's tail... bit me in the leg, turned around and strolled off, not even a bark... The egyptian doctor insisted I took a course of rabies vaccinations. Rabies is 100% lethal if not treated in time.
If attacked unarmed, one self-defence technique is to lower your left arm so the dog bites that first. Let the dog pull you down towards the ground. On the way down tackle the dog by wrapping your right arm around its body and press it hard to the ground.
Keeping your weight on the dog wrap your right arm around it's neck and strangle it until it's unconscious or dead (Rear naked choke).
Or the C. Dale Peterson method:
This bear was taken by World Famous Hunter
and Hunting Guide C. Dale Peterson of Jackson
Hole, Wy. It is one of the only two Grizzlies known
to have been killed “without” the use of modern
weaponry.
Verified by Game Biologists, Mr. Peterson killed
this bear with his hands, and oddly enough, his
teeth. It is known that this bear had been aggravated
by a group of backpackers, shortly thereafter
Peterson, unaware of the previous happenings, came
upon the bear. A fight-to-the-death ensued.
Peterson, having his right hand and arm wedged
in the bear’s throat, actually used his own teeth
and jaws to pinch off the bear’s jugular vein.
When the bear passed-out from lack of blood
flow to the brain, Peterson beat the bear upon
the head with a stick.
I have another problem with a couple of small dogs on my commute. They aren't much trouble, they just come out and chase and bark at me for a few hundred feet every morning if the owner has them out.
They're just a couple of little ****zus or something like that. Since I have learned from experience now, I'm prepared and holding on tight when I pass by the house. I swear if one of those little suckers get's in front of me, I'll have no problem running their little butts over on my CX bike.
